At a Barney Frank town hall meeting in Dartmouth, MA, a constituent asks, "Why are you supporting this Nazi policy?"

Frank responds: "On what planet do you spend most of your time?" He then calls her approach "vile, contemptible nonsense." He closes by saying: "Trying to have a conversation with you would be like arguing with a dining room table."

    Yes, John Kerry and Jimmy Carter didn't fight in the military but Ronald Reagan and George W. Bush the Chickenhawks did. Seriously man, I know Liberals aren't perfect but keep an open mind outside fox news.

    I'm def. not fan of Obama but the question is laughable. Comparing Obama to Hitler. If she would have asked her question w/o the hyperbole & rhetoric it wouldn't seem as asinine. This tribal mentality is our problem. If you agree w/ the reds, your're this. If you agree w/ the blues, your're that. This mentality only serves those in power. Keep us blindly fighting among ourselves while out country con't its slow decline.

    Nazi? But Socialist? I can't figure out if Americans failed History, Political Science, or both.

    Sigh - the Social Democrats, including Otto Wels, we actually communists. The Reich masqueraded as socialists and conservatives, which was the parallel I was referring to. 'Your precious conservatives' belies your motive. This is all just more distraction from the fact that Barney didn't answer the question, and should have had a more mature reply. Copy and Paste arbitrarilly from Wiki all you like, it doesn't change history. Troll on.

    The 'massive infusion of cash' is a bit of an exaggeration. They contributed to candidates that ran on the tea party platform, but I think it was a small amount compared to the massive amount of money funnelled into the traditional parties during the same elections. There is big money on both sides of the aisle, which is why the set of laws for restricting lobbyists needs to be fine tuned, to keep all of the special interest foxes out of our collective henhouse.

    Conservative, in today's arena, means less - not zero - government intervention. To preserve the basic social values of society, as it is now - not 200 or more years ago. "Classical" refers back to the original use of the word, which I believe is the French Revolution. That no longer applies. Conservatism is about traditional values, never fascism. Some Nazi's claimed to be about tradition, and were thus considered to be 'conservative', but who can trust a cult to use words correctly.

    The courage with which they maintain their convictions and their unbroken confidence guarantee a brighter future."- The social democrats spoke against Hitler and were the only group to vote and speak against him in the Reichstag when he gained power, while your precious conservatives actually supported his rise to power.

    "At this historic hour, we German Social Democrats pledge ourselves to the principles of humanity and justice, of freedom and Socialism. No Enabling Law can give you the power to destroy ideas which are eternal and indestructible ... From this new persecution too German Social Democracy can draw new strength. We send greetings to the persecuted and oppressed. We greet our friends in the Reich. Their steadfastness and loyalty deserve admiration.

    Hitler did many things, but the bill of goods he sold to the people in order to gain power was a socialist platform. Mein Kampf was the political platform of the national socialists, was pro-union, promoted class warfare, and puts forth the idea that there is some evil jewish conspiracy for world domination - which includes controlling the government. Sound familiar?
